Welcome to Live Chess Ratings!

This website is dedicated to monitoring the live ratings of the top chess players in the world.

Banners

If you have your own site or blog, we are happy to offer you use of the Top 10 Players banner. This banner is updated automatically. That is, every time there is a change to the Top 10 on our web page, your Top 10 banner is updated simultaneously.

You can get the source code of either the 300px or the narrower 200px width for these banners by going to the LIVE GAMES section.

Special Thanks

We would like to thank James Satrapa for his help in maintaining and improving this website, and for researching the information used in the Highest Ever Live Ratings banner.
We would also like to thank Annie Kappel for her help in improving text and layout.

If there is any information that we may have missed that involves players rated 2700+, please contact us via email: info(at)2700chess.com.
